that
Russia's Premier has bowed to inevitable pressure and the loss of Russian
money to
Cyprus, which will be used to backstop the Greek banks and government again.
Although publically he will continue to rail against the theft of
funds from his countrymen, Merkel has pulled some strings and obtained for him top
billing for April's edition of Playgirl. Putin is pushing for a further
concession involving posing with Chuck Norris and said, "Not in a gay
way. I want to do a cowboy type theme along the lines of a Fist Full of
Dollars
or Brokeback Mountain"

In addition to the Playgirl spread, Russia will control the
Cyprus ports within the year.
